I support this motion for many of the reasons already outlined. It's disappointing, of course, that we have to do this, but this is a necessary step, it's urgent, and I truly believe that those people who intend to not support this should reconsider their priorities. We should never consider any death of COVID-19 as something that is inevitable, and I think it's quite insulting that people have been making such comments here this evening. 

In my contribution, I want to raise some well-being issues, so that that they're at the forefront of the Government's thinking. I welcome the fact that the motion mentions well-being, but it would be good to set out a few specifics that are required. The important principle here is that we can't expect people's mental health and well-being to cope in this firebreak, and for support only to be available at the end of the period. That would not only lead to a backlog, it would also neglect the people at the very point where they most need support.

I welcome the fact that people living alone will be able to continue with their support bubbles during this firebreak, and I'm pleased that this option will also be available for single-parent households, but neither can we ignore the impact that this will have on the well-being of people, and we must provide support for people as a matter of urgency. This will include resources to help people with mental health issues. This should include a purposeful helpline and online resources, taking into account what Alun Davies had said about some people being less willing than others to actually look for that support that should be available.

Resources should also be available to assist those people who are parents to young children and who will be working from home during this time. Parents are under so much stress and pressure because they either have to juggle their parental responsibilities and, perhaps, can't work as much as they would want to, or they have to choose to work and then feel guilty for not spending that time with their children. This will, inevitably, have an impact on people's mood and their ability to cope. We should be targeting resources to help this group of people, because we're asking them to do something that may appear impossible. We should also be asking businesses to develop guidance so that staff members who don't have caring responsibilities can understand the additional pressures that their colleagues may be facing.

That brings me on to those with caring responsibilities; those who are carers for family members and live with those family members. This group of people has already gone for months without a break, and it's bound to have an impact on their well-being. While the day-care facilities are closed, we should ensure that there is individual support available for those families, and this should certainly continue during this lockdown. The 'Caring Behind Closed Doors' report published today highlights the grave impact the past few months have had on carers. My colleague Dr Dai Lloyd said earlier today that 95 per cent of people say that the past few months have had a negative impact on their health, be that physical or mental—that's 95 per cent of carers, I should say. Sixty-six per cent said that they were constantly tired. We need additional respite care and advisory services.

Llywydd, this period will be difficult for everyone, but for some groups of people the period will be even more challenging. We must build a contract of trust with the public in order to ensure that they feel that the sacrifice we're asking people to make—and I do welcome the fact that we are doing that as I do think it's necessary—that they can see that it's delivering something and that they feel part of that decision. We need clear communication, as that will be crucial for this to work. We must communicate as a matter of urgency as to what financial support will be available, as Helen Mary Jones has set out, and when, so that those who do have to self-isolate, or those who have had to close their businesses, do feel that support is always available to them. Thank you.
